LaHaye
Beverly LaHaye has
co-authored many books with her husband, Tim LaHaye,
on the subject of marriage. This is the first fictitious
novel of hers that I have read.
Mrs. Beverly LaHaye Founder and Chairman,
CWA The Beverly LaHaye Institute: A Center for Studies
in Women's Issues, is named for the founder and chairman
of Concerned Women for America . The Board of Directors
for CWA wanted to honor Mrs. LaHaye on the occasion
of the 20th Anniversary of CWA. They believed that nothing
would epitomize Mrs. LaHaye's commitment to women more
than a center devoted to excellence in women's studies
from the perspective of biblical values and beliefs.
In an interview once, Mrs. LaHaye said, "When you're
talking about family issues, women can be very strong,
very tough . . . The average American woman has endurance
and is willing to give of herself for what she believes
is right." Since that time, Mrs. LaHaye has proved very
strong and tough and she has given of herself for the
causes that she believes are right. In the process,
she has become one of the most admired women in America.
One of the earliest motivators propelling her from her
comfortable life as a pastor's wife and family-life
seminar leader with her husband, was the realization
that feminists were claiming to speak for all women
when their ideas and values were abhorrent to the majority
of American women. Since a kitchen-table discussion
about the things that troubled them 20 years ago, Concerned
Women for America has grown from half a dozen "concerned"
women to a powerful organization that now numbers close
to 600,000 members. As a woman with more honors and
awards than can be listed, Beverly LaHaye raised her
family before tackling the broader problems of society.
Since then, she has become a best-selling author and
an activist respected by friends and foe alike for her
principled stands on issues; stands that are based on
her commitment to both sound scholarship and a solid
biblical foundation. No one is better qualified to be
honored by having an institute carry her name than Beverly
LaHaye. No one is better qualified to speak on behalf
of women than Mrs. LaHaye and the Beverly LaHaye Institute.
